Given:

The axial load is 92kips.

The length of the column is 16ft.

The moment at top in x-direction is 160ft-kips.

The moment at top in y-direction is 24ft-kips.

The moment at bottom in x-direction is 214ft-kips.

Calculation:

Write the equation to obtain the load factor.

Pu=1.2PD+1.6PL ..... (I)

Here, load factor is Pu, axial live load is PL and axial dead load is PD.

Substitute (92/2)kips for PL as 50% is the live load given and (92/2)kips for PD as 50% is the dead load in Equation (I).

Pu=1.2(922kips)+1.6(922kips)=55.2kips+73.6kips=128.8kips

Write the equation to obtain factored bending moment at the bottom of the member for braced condition along x-axis.

Here, factored bending moment at bottom along x-axis is Mnbx, bending moment due to live load at bottom along x-axis is MLbx, and the bending moment due to dead load at bottom along x-axis is MLbx.

Substitute (160/2)ft-kips for MLb as 50% of the load is live load, and (160/2)ft-kips for MDb as 50% of the load is dead load in Equation (II).

Mnbx=1.2(1602ft-kips)+1.6(1602ft-kips)=96ft-kips+128ft-kips=224ft-kips

Write the equation to obtain factored bending moment at the top of the member for braced condition along x-axis.

Here, factored bending moment at top along x-axis is Mntx, bending moment due to live load at top along x-axis is MLtx, and the bending moment due to dead load at top along x-axis is MLtx.

Substitute (214/2)ft-kips for MLtx as 50% of the load is live load, and (214/2)ft-kips for MDtx as 50% of the load is dead load in Equation (III).

Mntx=1.2(2142ft-kips)+1.6(2142ft-kips)=128.4ft-kips+171.2ft-kips=299.6ft-kips

Here, factored bending moment at top along y-axis is Mnty, bending moment due to live load at top along y-axis is MLty, and the bending moment due to dead load at top along y-axis is MLty.

Substitute (31/2)ft-kips for MLty as 50% of the load is live load and (31/2)ft-kips for MDty as 50% of the load is dead load in Equation (V).

Mnty=1.2(312ft-kips)+1.6(312ft-kips)=18.6ft-kips+24.8ft-kips=43.4ft-kips

Write the equation to obtain the ultimate moment along x-axis.

Mux=B1Mntx+B2Mnbx ..... (VI)

Here, factor for braced condition is B1, factor for side sway condition is B2.

Substitute 1 for B1, 299.6ft-kips for Mntx, 0 for B2 and 224ft-kips for Mnbx in Equation (VI).
